Lena Dunham

Last week, Lena Dunham's memoir Not That Kind of Girl became a source of widespread controversy for the second time, when conservative blogger John Nolte claimed to have uncovered evidence that Dunham lied about being raped.

Nolte allowed for the possibility that Dunham had been sexually assaulted while she was in college, but he stated that she'd intentionally misled readers with regard to the identity of her attacker, thus ruining an innocent man's life in the process.

For a (mostly) lighthearted memoir written by the star of a TV comedy, Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl, has generated a surprising amount of controversy.

First, there was Dunham was accused of sexual molestation after right wing blog Truth Revolt called attention to a portion of the book in which Dunham described a bizarre, sexually explorative incident that occurred when she and her sister were both very young.

With all of the recent controversy surrounding Lena Dunham's comments about her sister, it's easy to forget that she's still the star, head writer and executive producer of a moderately popular HBO series.

But she is, and the show that's almost as divisive as its showrunner is soon to return for a new season of white people struggling to get by in spite of their dwindling trust funds.

The Girls star, who is no stranger to stirring up controversy (she started the #StoptheStigma campaign after NBC refused to air an ad that mentioned the word abortion) has fired back at critics who have somehow suggested she molested her little sister when both were toddlers.
